5 Surprising Cream Of Tartar Benefits

Naturally, nicotine takes between 48 and 72 hours to leave your system. That’s bad news for anyone trying to minimize cravings. Enter cream of tartar. The compound, which is a byproduct of the wine making process, pulls nicotine right from your body. What’s more, one week of cream of tarter treatment actually costs as little as one quarter the cost of a Nicorette pack.

Don’t smoke? Cream of tartar could still be for you! Read on to learn more about it and the many benefits it provides!

#1 – Quit Smoking

In addition to pulling nicotine right from your body, some say cream of tartar actually makes you dislike the taste of cigarettes altogether. For people trying to quit smoking, cream of tartartypically works when mixed with orange juice – specifically the not from concentrate kind.

Get 1 and a half teaspoons of cream of tartar and mix it with 1 cup of warm water. Then, add a few drops of lemon juice. Drink this mixture 1-2 times each day.

#4 – Clear Acne

Theodora Pennypacker writing for Leaf.tv says cream of tartar’s acidic properties make it a great acne-fighting, cleaning agent for your skin. You don’t apply the cream directly to your face, though. Rather, you create a drink with 1 teaspoon of cream of tartar and 8 ounces of water or orange juice.

Drink this daily and, with time, the mixture will remove the toxins and bacteria responsible for acne from your system.

If you’ve got high blood pressure problems, begin by checking with your doctor to see if a potassium deficiency is indeed the cause. If so, take 1 teaspoon of cream of tartar and mix it with a glass of water. Drink nightly.
